Lyrics

(Verse 1)
We were working in the tower,
Testing motors, counting hours.
Trying hard to keep control
With tools we never really owned.
Snow was falling on the glass,
Then the storm began to crash.
Waves came roaring through the frame—
Nothing safe, and nothing stayed the same.
Chorus
When the waters rise, when the glass gives way,
When the flood pours in and we can't delay—
We will hold our ground, we will lift our eyes,
And trust You, Lord, when the waters rise.
(Verse 2)
Leo came with quiet breath,
Said, “It’s coming—prepare for depth.”
No time to run, no place to hide,
We were swept into the city's tide.
Still we waited for a friend,
One the world would just condemn.
We held out hope beneath the waves,
That love would meet us in the place we stayed.
(Chorus)
When the waters rise, when the glass gives way,
When the flood pours in and we can't delay—
We will hold our ground, we will lift our eyes,
And trust You, Lord, when the waters rise.
(Bridge)
Not by might and not by plan,
We drifted deep, but still we stand.
With every soul the world denies—
We ride the waves, and You’re by our side.
(Final Chorus)
When the waters rise, when the storm is near,
We will not drown, for You are here.
Through every crash, through every cry,
We trust You, Lord…
When the waters rise.
(Outro)
Yes, we trust You, Lord…
When the waters rise.
